Comfy Cone E-Collar for Dogs & Cats, Black

Our dogs were miserable with the clear plastic cones after their surgery, so we bought the Comfy Cone. This was the best purchase EVER! We were relieved to see they were finally able to sleep comfortably! In fact, the segmented sections allowed them to lay comfortably in any position as they rested. The Velcro strips also held in place perfectly and allowed us to fit the cone specifically for each dog's neck/head shape. This really helped make the cones more comfortable for them! The material used, though, does limit their peripheral vision. This just means they bumped into things a little more than normal... an acceptable consequence for them finally being able to sleep!!

I liked the idea of a padded "comfy" elizabethan collar....well, terrible idea. My dog was traumatized by the "black-out" feeling and the incredibly loud VELCRO. Attaching 3 long strips, then tearing them apart to readjust was pure torture, right there by his ears. Panic ensued every time it came off and on for him to drink, eat, or go for a walk. So I made a larger opening to slip a prepared cone over his big head to hang off a collar but it was longer, less secure, and heavier (more torque). So I bought a classic clear plastic elizabethan collar and he immediately accepted it, relieved to be able to see his surroundings and end the awful ripping sounds.

My standard poodle required a cone to stop her from licking a hot spot on her hind leg. The vet sent us home with the standard plastic one, and my poodle hated it! She was panting and condensation formed on the inside of the plastic. She slept in it the first night and by morning, her ears were all wet from the condensation. I quickly looked for an alternative, and the Comfy Cone was sent to us in one day and it was much more comfortable and well tolerated by my girl. I needed the deep size so purchased the extender for it to fit around her neck properly. Perfect!! She could not reach her leg but slept well in the Comfy Cone and after a few days, no longer needed to wear it.

My older dog eris will worry on her paw when my son leaves for the summer. She has to wear a cone at all times for 3 months during this period.Usually we use the rigid plastic cones but she runs into everything with it. So this year we got this comfy cone. It was a little long even though I measured her before I bought it but it folds nicely (and makes her look like a flower!) She doesnt run into as many things and she looks pretty comfy when she lays down, like she's laying on a pillow.

I ordered this cone for my cat. It arrived on my doorstep quickly. She has a wound on her back leg (the upper part) The cone keeps her from licking her wound, I left the plastic stays in for added stiffness. I really like this product because she can eat, drink, and use her covered litter box with the cone on. I give this product 5 stars. Works great!

While this would probably be ideal for most dogs, my 1 year old Rottie has already chewed through it in 24 hours. We needed it so that she could not pull out stitches in her front two legs. I attached it properly, left the stays in and she can still get it get close enough to her mouth to chew it up. We've now ordered a muzzle.

This e-collar cone helped prevent my dog from licking his bandage off of his paw, but I expected it to be more durable. I guess a collar like this just isn't made for large dogs, but it'd work perfectly for a small dog I think. My 78 lb pitbull was able to bulldoze through anything that got in his way because he's large and moves fast - having said this, it caused the collar to bend, giving him easy access. Additionally, I followed the sizing chart, but the collar was too lose for his neck even when I adjusted it according to the different velcro spots.

I need a confortable cone for continuous use so my dog's wound can heal. Once you order the right size it will be really helpful and confortable at the same time. I have the large, which isn't quite long enough but allows my dog to function and still keeping his side of the face protected (where his wound is located) and also prevents him to keep licking some hot spots on his skin... I also ordered the xl, following the video recommendation of proper use of the cone, it is long enough but too large on his neck...so my doberman is in between both sizes because of his slim neck and long snout.

I orderded this as an alternative to the plastic cone the vet gives you after my GSD had to have a rear leg amputated. It is softer than the plastic cone and therefore seems more comfortable for the dog (and you if he runs into you). It worked well to keep him from licking the area. The only drawback is that since it is not see through I think he had slightly more trouble negotiating his way around.

Got this collar for my dog to stop him from licking his infected paws. He broke 3 standard plastic e-collars all in pure stubburness, but this one has not failed us, he can try and remove and break it without success. Would recommend.
